Answer:

<u><em>The correct options are:</em></u>

<u><em>All traits are inherited.</em></u>

<u><em>Offspring inherit one allele for a gene from each parent.</em></u>

<u><em>An offspring with two identical alleles for a trait is homozygous.</em></u>

Explanation:

  • In the biological world, a trait can be described as a genetic characteristic which makes up an organism. Every organism has a particular set of traits.

  • Traits are inherited from parents, however they can be influenced by the environment.

  • The alleles of a gene make up the genotype and the influencing phenotype. An organism acquires one allele for the gene pair from each parent.

  • When both the alleles of a gene pair are similar, the organism is said to be homozygous for the trait. If both the alleles of a gene pair are different, the organism is said to be heterozygous for the trait.

Classify the mutations as somatic or inherited
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Somatic mutations : option (A) and option (D).

Inherited mutations : option (B) and option (C).

Explanation:

Mutations are permanent changes in the genetic material due to alterations in DNA sequence. Mutations may be somatic or inherited (or germline).

Somatic mutations are those mutations that arise in somatic or normal body cells and cannot transfer from parents to their offspring. As skins cells and lung cells are somatic cells, option (A) and (D) represent somatic mutations.

Inherited mutations are those mutations that arise in sex cells (gamete forming cell) and transfer from parents to their offspring due to transfer as these cells form mutated gametes. As egg cells and sperms cells are sex cells, option (B) and (C) represent inherited mutations.
